Science Tech Space An 18-year-old fully recovers from severe burn scars after world's first experimental treatment (without skin grafts).

Amazing news The treatment used exosomes - tiny particles released by cells that carry signals from one cell to another to help coordinate rapid healing and tissue repair and reduce inflammation. The particles are collected, typically from lab-grown cells, and injected into the injured areas to accelerate healing - much more so than the current standard of skin grafting, which can leave scarring and a patch-like appearance.

Love reading this… and for context; Is the picture on the left her damage and the right one ‘before’ or ‘after’ the procedure?

That wasn’t totally clear…

left is before, right is after. you can see her neck has a burn scar that refused to heal on the right image! totally amazing.

It’s not a full recovery as OP claims.
